About Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is a 2013 American dark fantasy action horror film starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the siblings from the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel", who are now grown up and work together to exterminate witches for hire. The supporting cast includes Famke Janssen and Peter Stormare. It was written and directed by Tommy Wirkola. In late 2010, after being approached by Gary Sanchez Productions, Wirkola pitched the film to Paramount Pictures. Renner was cast as Hansel in September 2010 whilst the role of Gretel was planned for Noomi Rapace before Arterton's casting in January 2011. Principal photography began in March 2011 at Babelsberg Studio in Germany, and concluded in June. Originally scheduled for release in March 2012, the film was delayed to allow additional time to shoot a post-credits scene with Renner. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters was theatrically released in the United States on January 25, 2013. It received generally negative reviews from critics for its weak script and gratuitous violence. It was a box-office success, grossing $226 million against a production budget of $50 million.
